At the meeting, August 15th the troop will be working on merit badges during instruction time.

During patrol time every patrol will be focused on rank advancement.

Information regarding the new leadership positions has been sent out to the troop. If this applies to you please make sure you are at the training session on Saturday, August 19th, at the Stonegate pool (where the summer annual barbeque picnic is held).

Last month, I wrote an article on the topic of bullying (Part 2). With the start of the new school year and more activities, such as sports and clubs beginning as scouts we need to help each other and our school peers regarding this serious topic. I have also interviewed Mrs. Lipman on the topic because she feels strongly about this subject. You can read this interview under Part 1.
